The Native Arts Fellowship supports emerging and mid-career artists to pursue collections research projects that utilize National Museum of the American Indian collections. Artists may access both object and archival collections, along with research materials, housed at the museum’s Cultural Resources Center (CRC) and Vine Deloria, Jr. Library. In addition to accessing collections, artists are offered professional development opportunities to engage and connect with other museum artist fellows and staff and receive training on best practices for conducting collections research. Additional professional development opportunities are offered in consultation with artist fellows.
Applications must be submitted through the Smithsonian Online Academic Appointment (SOLAA) System to be considered: solaa.si.edu/solaa/#/public. Applicants with limited internet connectivity or technological capabilities should contact the museum's Fellowship Program Administrator to discuss alternative ways to provide application materials.
All application materials must be received no later than April 4, 2024, 12 PM EST.
